T."Well, tell me the reasons you object to a non binding Amendment..
I would prefer your reasons are something more than feelings or opine, rather they be based on ***facts***.
Otherwise, don't bother." S.===2.The fact is ,she DID back down.But whatever.it is a good ad!===
T.3.Hillary isn't backing down now is she? S===7. We don't know yet.Time will tell.She waffles a lot on many issues.===
Witness the Kyl/Lieberman vote and now her new stance with Webb. Go figure. I do not trust her.
T14. What about the Kyl/Lieberman vote?T S===19. She voted for it. You support that vote?
T.23. Have you read it? S===30. Yes.
Yes, you read it, but you didn't understand what it said and the reason for it...
I specifically requested your reasons be something more than feelings or opine, rather they be based on facts.
Otherwise, don't bother. S.===36. Because it is an indication of intent.Non binding or not. And playing political games===
hoping to look "tough" for the GE is NOT acceptable.
I asked you to produce facts, you posted your feelings and fears hoping to project them on me. Now your waffling on wanting a tough "D" opponent for the General. Our other Senators who understand this voted against it. Biden, Kerry, Dodd and others. Biden is one of the shrewdest in foreign policy and knows how to reach across the aisle to build consensus and he didn't vote for this"non binding resolution". Anything in foreign policy that has Lieberman's name on it must automatically be suspect. Who but a shill would have voted for that? Throwing down the gauntlet even in a "non binding " resolution is a very dangerous and tactically stupid maneuver. Would it be acceptable to explain to the families to dead soldiers who had been attacked that this was a "nonbinding " resolution? It proves that Hillary will say anything to get elected. I question whose support she wants with this vote. The majority of Americans would be against war with Iran or against "inciting" Iran but the resolution does curry favor with the neocons who have been itching for a reason to take out another member of the Axis of Evil. You ask me for "facts" .Yet none, none of the Hillary supporters I have asked have ever given me a good reason why she voted for this.They have cited "political expediency" on occasion, and that is despicable in this instance.So, I ask you, again, why did she vote for this? Why? And give a defensible reason.
Yes, I asked you to produce facts, and all you've produced is rantings and fears, hardly appropriate under the circumstances, when it's obvious you have a problem backing your statements with evidence.>
T.38. Well, seeing we're bringing other candidates into the conversation..
I want a strong president elected this time around. Biden may be shrewd and Dodd may be statesman like, but their chances of being elected are slim to none. That leaves us with the Top tier candidates. Candidates that have something to lose by their actions. They would be Clinton, Obama and Edwards and by the process of elimination whittle down these three to the bare facts. Hillary voted, Obama did not and Edwards is ineligible.
So, before we go any further, you need to read this analysis of exactly the ramifications of the Iran vote in case you missed this tidy- knowledgeable, clear- concise- analysis. We're betting you won't, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt anyway...then get back to me.

S.39.=== I read it. Who is this "we"? You and the mouse in your pocket?===
No, me allowing you to go off point bringing other candidates into the converstation rather than bringing hard facts relating to your objection to the Kyl/Lieberman Amendment and Hillary's voting for it.
T.32. Well, tell me the reasons you are justified in objecting to a non binding Amendment?..
So you want a "strong"president this time around, and think "phony" saber rattling( we better pray that it is phony) is the way to indicate Hillary is "strong'? I know what a sense of Congress is, and I know what a nonbinding resolution is. I also know what language they took out. Hillary was deliberately risking provoking Iran by piling on in a request to declare the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.Do you not think that Iran reads? Do you not think they will be informed about this vote?
When has anything Hillary ever said or done affected our Foreign Policy? Provide links please to that assertion. As, I initially said...I want factual evidence. Not your outrageous, ill thought out rantings pulled out of your ass.
The fact that Hillary is the "front runner" sends an even worse message to Iran. And in case you aren't aware, the ME countries are a lot more touchy diplomatically than most.And Hillary should be aware of that from her vast experience in the WH.
Another coffee clatch observation that may play well in your neighborhood but not here. Provide facts to back up your statements otherwise don't get into arguments you know you can't win because the majority of posters here no matter who they support respect the Truth AND facts backing their statements.
I stick by my original statements and you have still not answered my question or is "I want a strong president" the best you can do to defend this vote? Oh and, "other Senators voted for this too" isn't good enough either. Don't bother printing the list. I know it.
Your original statement is at the top of this page..I'll provide a refresher.
.=== "We don't know yet.Time will tell.She waffles a lot on many issues.Witness the Kyl/Lieberman vote.===
Sifting though all the hubris you've written, I have yet to unearth a single fact relating or proving an iota of your assertion.
